the last few posts have been about the qualifications for leadership. I feel that the most important aspect of leadership is a sense of purpose: knowing what you want to accomplish, how you plan to do it, and having the dedication to achieve it. no matter how educated, or accountable you are you've got to have a goal. Jesse jackson is in all the hot water he's in now, not because he's some evil man, but cuz he lost that vision. Think about, one minute he's in Yugoslavia freeing soldiers, next he's in Illinois fighting for suspended students(which he had no buisness dealing with in the first palce), then protesting John Ashcroft, and recently trying to get gas companies to delay payments, etc. If the talented Tenth are going to make any lasting progress, they'll have to have a goal and stick to making it a reality.
